Epsom Salts

I have heard about Epsom salts for tomatoes and peppers. I can't find out how much or how often though.

Does anyone use this, and what is the method you use?


thanks

I don't use Epsom Salt in my garden, but I did find this for you. http://www.epsomsaltcouncil.org/garden/

That's very kind of you. Thank you

I mix up a planting hole mix of 2c EP, 2c worm castings, 2c Dolomite Lime for my tomatoes. Sprinkle a liberal handful into the hole. For the peppers, swap 2c rock phosphate for the lime.

I also sprinkle a lb. of EP on my lawn periodically, to green it up.

my grandfather in Italy used Epson Salt on his plants and they did great !
I kept up family traditions here in the USA.
Right now, I am using one tbsp of Epson Salt on my tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cukes and okra every other week.
It must be working because I always harvest more than I could eat !

Drthor, are you just applying the 1T to the plant, or mixing it in water? Or some other way?

Sprinkle it around the plant, then water it in.

I apply one tbsp of Epson at the base of the plant.
That's it !
My veggie garden is watered by a soaker hose on a timer. I just wait for the water to go on automatically ...

That's easy enough, thanks!
